New Lego set features Skellig Michael, as part of merchandise blitz ahead of The Last Jedi film

Skellig Michael, one of Ireland’s most picturesque sites, has been transformed into a Lego set.

The island featured during the closing moments of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It was revealed that Luke Skywalker had taken refuge there.

Now, a new Lego set (Ahch-to Island Training, set number 75200) has been released, ahead of the arrival of The Last Jedi, the next installment in the Star Wars saga.

The set features a model of Luke Skywalker’s dwelling on the island, plus three minifigures: Skywalker himself, Rey, and a cute seabird-like creature dubbed Porg, which was seemingly inspired by Skellig’s Puffin population.
